Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

There are two good ways to act with the Muppets. Either you take the Michael Cain approach and pretend you are working with a professional troupe from the West End. Or the Tim Curry approach where you pretend you yourself are also a Muppet. RIP

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

The Haunting (1963). Gorgeous black and white visions of dread anchored in overstuffed, asymmetrical rooms that burrow under your skin. Loneliness leading to the pathetic fate of letting yourself be devoured by something terrible because it's better than not being wanted at all.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

The Supreme Court Has Completed Its Quest to Kill the Voting Rights Act
In its 6-3 decision, the court gutted the legislation that ended apartheid in this country—and once again gave white people the ability to suppress Black political power.

so i don't live there now but i am From Philly, it's meaningfully part of me even 20+ years out and i'm not into hockey but this guy has transcended mere hockey mascot, imo. i've been thinking about this kind of treatment for him basically since go & especially since they doubled down on the flag-
scan of a gouache painting of Philly's mascot Gritty, a furry orange muppet with wild eyes, as a wrathful deity crowned with gold flames, dancing on modern imps of ignorance and cruelty, on the Columbia bridge over the Schuylkil, in front of a burning Cybertruck in the river, flanked by offerings of pretzels and Tastykakes. It holds up a progress flag on a hockey stick, a middle finger, a sprig of ginkgo, a big cup of Wawa coffee, one empty blessing hand, and a molotov cocktail ready to throw. The sky is pastel dawn colors over Fairmount Park.
